Popular cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen shared his opinion on the current situation with Bitcoin and possible trends for the near future.

Current Situation Analysis

According to well-known cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen, Bitcoin could continue its downtrend until the end of 2024. He links this to the US Federal Reserve's (FED) interest rate decisions.

Optimistic Scenario

The analyst believes that if the neutral rate is higher than the FED's expectations, the downtrend of Bitcoin could be broken with rate cuts. "If the FED lowers rates and they fall below the neutral rate, the downtrend may end in September. However, this is an optimistic picture,” Cowen noted.

Moderate Scenario

In a moderate scenario, the analyst predicts a continued decline until the end of the year. According to Cowen, to end the downtrend, a rate cut of approximately 75 basis points is needed, which is possible only by the end of the year. "Then we can start to rise again in January 2025," the analyst concluded.
